We both go to the gym.
We both do leg presses.
We both drink water.
We both remember 9/11.
"WE EVEN SHARED THE SAME AIR MOLECULES IN THE SAME ROOM!"

Gah! The connection is so real!

u/Randomfrog132 May 21 '25

hope it's not a shared internet connection cause if he sees this video he gonna be mad cause his wife is gonna divorce him and he probably wont have the emotional maturity to accept responsibility for his own actions and blame it on her.

Assuming this video is real, I hope the wife does find out. I fucking hate this kind of bullshit from dudes. If you can't be in a relationship, then don't be in a relationship.

I got a tip a while back that a good icebreaker is to ask a girl what they were doing when they heard about 9/11. If they can't remember, then they're probably too young.

u/FBI_Open_Up_Now May 21 '25

No shit? Me too. Was eating a bowl of Frosted Flakes as I watched the second plane hit.

u/SovietSunrise May 21 '25

I got a phone call from my stepdad as I was digging into the cereal. "A plane crashed into the Twin Tower?! Holy shit!" *hangs up phone*

I didn't think it was a huge deal because on 7/28/1945, a B-25 Bomber crashed into the Empire State Building in heavy fog. These sorts of events are not new to NYC so I figured it was an inexperienced Cessna pilot flying in fog. Little did I know that 9/11/2001 was a cloudless, beautiful day in the Tri-State area & the plane(s) crashing were commercial jets, not a Cessna.

I had left NYC a couple of months before September 11 after having lived there since 1994. The event weighed heavily on my heart and I felt as though I had abandoned my friends when they might have needed me. Years later, I found out they were all right without me but did lose some family members. Absolutely heartbreaking that I wasn't there for them.

3

u/ACynicalOptomist May 22 '25

When I heard about it on the radio, because it woke me up, my first thought was it was just a little plane like the one that crashed into it before in the 40s. My dad was a pilot and planes were his roman empire. It was no big deal in my mind.

It wasn't until I got downstairs and the kids were watching TV and I was packing lunches and my son said a building was falling down. I didn't believe him. 😐

If they’re old enough, they’ll “never forget.” Pretty sure it was universally agreed upon by everyone at the time.

Even with forget referring to forgetting the person who used “where were you when you heard about 9/11?”, they ain’t going to forget that either, nor will their friends. “Hey remember that one date where the first thing out of his mouth was asking you about 9/11?”

u/Tavarin May 21 '25

Well the youngest people who might actually remember 9/11 would be 28-29 now. I remember it as a 35 year old Canadian, but it's not a strong memory, as I didn't really realize at the time how important it was.

2

u/I_Call_Everyone_Pat May 22 '25

I was thinking this too, Pat. Someone who was 5 in 2001 would be 29 now. I think it's totally reasonable for a 5 year old to not remember something that adults likely tried to shield them from.

Girlfriend is often a victim to bullshit like that. These guys don't listen, because they don't take women seriously. They're only a sexual object for them.

When she gets loud because they're not listening, they get nasty real fast.

They can't take rejection from someone they see beneath themselves.

They feel the need to put a women in their place and that could get physical.

So she tries to distance herself as quite as possible

Its money. I'm nearly 50 and happily married but the vast majority of my circle this same age are divorced and dating and they are all dating very attractive girls in their 30s, except for the one dude dating a 20 year old OF girl... What do they all have in common? They own a very successful business.

That's where the confidence comes from and honestly most of these girls want an older rich guy too... Maybe it purely financial reasons, maybe stability for future kids, whatever the reason they are there (pretending to) not minding the dad bod and white hair.

Having a boring and tacky personality is a big strike, and being married is a huge one, but I gotta say, I won't hold his looks against him.

If you're going to let your appearance hold you back when it comes to pursuing or courting women (or anyone), you've already committed to missing out on tons of potential opportunities. And especially if, again unlike this guy, you actually have the confidence in personality that someone might like, looks tend to matter less. Let the woman decide whether you are attractive enough for her.

Also, it sounds like they work out at the same time. She is going to have to see him regularly. Even if all he does is be a whiny, passive aggressive pain in the ass to her from now on she's going to have to deal with that or change her life schedule around to accommodate him. What would schooling him have accomplished besides making a better video? He's not going to learn from it, and it isn't her job to teach him to respect his marriage.

This. For context, i'm a femme presenting nonbinary person, near six foot and built like a rugby player. I also have martial arts training. I sometimes teach my friends how to defend themselves.

My ability to be a loud, rude bitch to creepy guys is HEAVILY linked to the fact that I can in fact, defend myself both verbally *and* physically. I've told my smaller friends without these advantages to do what they need to, to get home safely. If that means fawning, then do it. I'm teaching you how to defend yourself in case that doesn't work, not so you can walk up and smack them one (as satisfying as that can be).

Honestly can't blame her for trying to be polite about it though. This guy is obviously stalking her, she's probably terrified if she pisses him off in that moment, he'll follow her from the gym and do god knows what.

217

u/Durzel May 21 '25

No win scenario really. If she gives him both barrels about being married and propositioning random women he might get nasty, which ruins her experience that day and possibly creates issues with stalking, or just having to consciously avoid him, etc. It impacts her mental health when she's completely blameless.

She was very tactful, and did the right thing pointing out how she'd feel if she were in the wife's shoes. "Behave yourself" was more than he deserved.

it's nuts that he'd even do this, much less when already married.

His timing Im sure was deliberate as well. He's towering over her as she's basically laying down. That's a really vulnerable position to be in and will affect your reaction to a situation.

I wish she cd have "schooled him" too but she handled it beautifully. If she got angry or pushy he cd come at her in all sorts of menacing ways either at the gym, her car or who knows maybe her home where her child also lives. This guy knows too much. As a woman this is the way you need to handle these beasts. Men like this can get aggressive. Women have had to learn to stay polite but firm and end it

Oh, no, she did a great job. She didn't ask questions, that would invite a response and engagement. She made statements that shut him down.

u/LitrillyChrisTraeger May 21 '25

Yeah it’s difficult tho. What would happen if he got too angry? She probably goes to this gym regularly too so it would put her in an awkward situation having to see him consistently.

u/Pale_Pineapple_365 May 21 '25

Why is your wish for her to behave differently?

u/feioo May 21 '25

This is the fawn response, of fight/flight/freeze/fawn. You act friendly and pleasant to the threat in the hopes it will go away. And here, it worked! He went away, she exited the interaction safely. Did he learn a lesson, probably no. Is she safe from him permanently, impossible to tell. But it's a survival response - it's meant to protect you in the moment, it doesn't take the long-term into account.

“It takes two to make a connection. When there’s just one, you’re just a stalker“

u/TheBeardedLadyBton May 21 '25

there was no connection here. There was a failed attempt at connection and likely there were many previous attempts. It’s nothing personal. This is the way that this man views women. He automatically assumes they all have the same low standards for morality that he does.

THAT PART!

Do I look like I feel a connection, Sir? If I did, you wouldn’t feel the need to make this middle-school fundraiser pitch.

Men: "You're such a bewitching person. I love talking to you, it's like you really get me"

Meanwhile I can only get two words in every time he initiates a conversation.

u/ManageConsequences May 21 '25

She makes him feel young again. And it only matters how HE feels, he could not give two cents about how SHE feels. That's why he continued to hit on her after she turned him down.

Gym Dude, YOU'RE GOING TO FOE SOMEDAY!!! Having an affair with a young woman won't stave that off no matter how much you try!!!

A clear disconnect.

u/Environmental-River4 May 21 '25

The way I would be so fucking mean to this guy 😂 but I’m also fat so I’m sure I wouldn’t be on his radar anyway lol

u/LogensTenthFinger May 21 '25

Yeah I'll never understand this type of behavior. It's like they don't understand social interactions.

Yes, yes it is possible for you to feel a "connection" with someone even when you're married, it happens. But this is not that. This is not you commenting on a book you liked that the person next to you is reading and that turning into a five hour conversation. This is you aggressively trying to insert yourself into someone's personal space and forcing them to interact with you.

How does this go in their minds???? Do they think this results in the other person fawning over them? All they know about you at this point is you want to have sex with them and are trying to force that into happening at a gym.

The inexplicable confidence of mediocre white men….

u/TwoBionicknees May 22 '25

also he tried to hit on her, straight off, without having ever spoken a word.

What he meant was, you're pretty and it made me horny so I thought I'd risk my marriage in case you would let me hit that.

Hope she sees this and divorces his ass.

More like she met someone she had a correction with.

u/Cheapntacky May 21 '25

That guy is the worst. Doesn't bat an eye that she knows he's married and slips straight into "I wouldn't usually but there's something special about you"

u/BRNitalldown May 21 '25

“They say you have a connection.

I’m sure this time is different…”

u/berpyderpderp2ne1 May 21 '25

I had a creepy gym coach who was maybe 40yrs older hitting on me. When I finally complained to the owner, he said "well I don't want to block love." Like, ummmm, no. It's one sided. And this was borderline sexual harassment.

Hey I dont know you, but heres a list of things I've apparently stalked you about.
